T. wanted to talk about travel plans for a trip some months in the future. I was willing to answer several questions (where is the airport, where is the hotel, etc.) but it turns out that asking me to explain the ground transportation arrangements to the airport for a trip more than a couple months in the future AFTER I have already had my evening drink is Not a Good Idea.

I did wind up ordering him a couple books about where we are going that are aimed at kids and have activities and pictures and so forth. Hopefully that will make up for me losing my temper at being required to explain how he was going to get from school to the airport (answer: by going home first, because I'm not bringing a school backpack on an airplane).
